Why go to the trouble of lowering prices when you can just claim gas is under $2 per gallon?

And that birthday bash of self-praise is likely to cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars with plans (not just concepts) calling for: 6,600 soldiers, 150 assorted military vehicles, 50 helicopters, 7 bands, and the obligatory throng of Red Hat civilians who are uneducated enough to march in servitude. And, the worst part... he will announce how he has an aced a cognitive test that he will claim is a sign of his intelligence level (his uncle worked at MIT, you know).

@MarkPaul it is so repulsive. But as a friend of mine said; 'The US was always this way, it just was masked.'

@jaylar Military-Dear Leader style parades? Boasting about passing a test checking for Alzheimer's? Worshipping cult followers who genuinely rejoice in marching in support of going against their own best interests? That seems like new wrinkle in the American experience. Sure, there are historical tags of bizarre acts and happenings as with any human society. But this seems like a rather new phenomenon inside the USA. Despite the attention it gets, it seems still somewhat contained among a minority of sycophants. Hopefully, it doesn't spread before it evaporates like a crazy outfit trend or hairstyle craze.
